“We cannot express enough how grateful we are for the incredible support Thomasina provided with our daughter Rose's feeding. Thomasina, you were an absolute godsend—not just with the practicalities of feeding but also emotionally, during what was a very tough time for our family.
Your kindness, patience, and expertise made such a difference, and we are so thankful for how much you helped us. Thanks to you, Rose is now thriving, becoming a happy little chubby bundle of joy!
We’ll forever appreciate the positive impact you had on our lives. Thank you again for everything.”
Mum Eva and baby girl Rose, 3 days old
“Working with Thomasina was the best decision I could have made in those intense first few days of motherhood. From the moment she walked into my home, I felt relief because she saw me in all of my mess and made me feel seen and heard in my challenging birth experience. I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to breastfeed my baby in the way that I wanted to and she helped me reach all of my goals and intentions and then some. But it wasn’t just about the feeding journey, it was about how she saw me as a mother that felt so nourishing and helped me find my calm. All of my concerns and questions were met with kindness, reassurance, and true faith that I could do this. Having Thomasina in my corner has been so nourishing and affirming. I now exclusively breastfeed my 4 month old with ease and confidence and I am so grateful for her support throughout it all. I highly, highly recommend any new mom to work with Thomasina."

"Thomasina's advice was pragmatic and empathetic. She helped me to get breastfeeding going effectively whilst also making sure I felt supported emotionally as a mum. I'm now successfully breastfeeding my baby after facing lots of challenges and I'm so happy about it."
Mum Naomi, baby girl Aida, newborn
“I contacted Thomasina on my second day out of hospital and phew...what a great relief to receive her breastfeeding guidance and support. It was both reassuring and encouraging. I will recommend Thomasina to anyone that needs a hand on the journey.”

"I had a very difficult time breastfeeding my first baby and ended up stopping much earlier than I wanted to. I came to Thomasina when I was pregnant with my second baby to build my confidence around breastfeeding and feel better prepared for when baby 2 arrived. Thomasina was wonderfully knowledgeable, supportive and kind: she helped me to address some of my past trauma and got me to a place where I felt ready for breastfeeding again and supported if things didn't go as well as I hoped. As well as visiting while I was pregnant she made sure to visit in the first few days after baby arrived, which I found really helpful. It wasn't all plain sailing, but knowing Thomasina was there to help us was so reassuring. We recently got to six months exclusively breastfeeding and I don't think we would have managed that without Thomasina's support at the start!"

"Thomasina is the reason I kept breastfeeding: her timely intervention, easy-to-follow guidance, compassion and wisdom got me from a horrible spot at 3 weeks in (low milk supply and a tongue tie) to breastfeeding until 9 months. I recommend Thomasina to all my friends. She's a absolute wonder!"
Mum Belinda, baby boy, 3 weeks old
"I wouldn’t be breastfeeding if it weren’t for Thomasina. My newborn had a shallow latch and Thomasina helped with the exaggerated latch technique. Just a few tweaks to how I was feeding my daughter made all the difference. Thomasina was also available for follow up queries and shared lots of useful resources."
Mum Rita, baby girl Teresa, 3 weeks old
"Thomasina’s support has made the world of difference to my breastfeeding journey. I first met Thomasina when my baby was five weeks old, and we were struggling with weight gain and feeding issues after a difficult birth. I was very emotional, despairing and exhausted at that point, and Thomasina’s calm and empathetic advice and support over the subsequent weeks helped me to find my feet not only as a breastfeeding mum but as a new mum in general. With her guidance and encouragement, I progressed from living in a distressing
whirlwind of pumping, weighing, worrying and formula feeding to exclusively breastfeeding for several months now, a transformation which has been wonderful and unexpected. Thomasina never put pressure on this outcome and was extremely non-judgmental and open minded when supporting me and my baby – a situation which enabled us to flourish and eventually find our equilibrium. I can’t thank her enough for her expertise and kindness."

Post-natal breastfeeding support/home visit
"The Circle has been a real source of support and nourishment for me as I emerged from a tricky birth into my fourth trimester. It’s been a wonderful and very grounding to begin each new week surrounded by community, expertise and encouragement – not to mention cups of tea made by someone else, and drunk while hot! The Circle has become a touchstone of my week and has supported my journey not just with breastfeeding but also with finding my feet as a new mum in general. Thank you so much Thomasina, Simi and Alison!"

"Really helpful session with Thomasina. She visited promptly and my reach out as I needed help with clogged ducts. After assessing how I breastfed and gathering info about my birth and daily routine, she helped with positioning and was the first person to notice my baby had tongue tie. Really grateful as, for the 8 weeks since birth, no one spotted this. Thomasina proceeded to be very balanced in sharing the pros and cons of the tongue tie procedure before referring us to a specialist. Thank you!"
Mum anonymous, baby girl, 8 weeks old
"Thomasina came to our home when my son was three days old and set us up for a really positive breastfeeding journey. She is a calming and informed presence and taught me how a proper latch should feed, went through different positions including lying down, gave lots of info on digestion, milk production and new-borns in general. After her visit my husband and I felt very calm, more confident and reassured. She followed up with texts and phone calls giving me information on pumping, night feeds and weight gain. I love breastfeeding now; it’s helped me bond so much with my son and I will continue past the 6-month mark. Thank you so much Thomasina for your guidance and knowledge in those early, early days and weeks. I think it was crucial!"
Mum Sorcha, baby boy Liam, 3 days old
"Dear Thomasina, thank you for being such an important part of our breastfeeding journey – I couldn’t have done it without so many wonderful women supporting me. Merry Christmas."
